Plucky,

I was not clear in my original post, I know where the SageTV folder is but there is nothing in it named mymoviesshare, where is that file or folder? I did do a search and did not find a file or folder named mymoviesshare.

My Movies share is the share created by the collection manager the folder is hidden by default see above post for location it will get added to the wiki

also it is folders.properties not folder wiki wrong

The folder name is actually "filestorage".
For XP it's at:c:\documents and settings\all users\application data\My Movies\FileStorage
For WHS it's at: \\<server>\Shares\My Movies\FileStorage
For Vista/Win7 it's at: C:\ProgramData\My Movies\FileStorage

Thanks for clarifying that again not at home and can only type so much on iPhone.

I will add that to wiki.

If you force a library scan it will start the process it can take some time to fill up all the posters and any missing backgrounds as well. It also has to scale them after that, but they will show up eventually promise

Plucky - I am confused about posters. I am signed up for the trial for mymovies, so I have 2500 points (at least for the next 30 days). Is there something inside of mymovies I have to do to ask it to download posters? I didn't see any options related to poster downloads.

And then, once I ask it to download posters - I then just ask SMM to rescan the library and wait for a bit and I will get posters?


Thanks. Loving SMM so far!

Really dumb n00b question here, but how do I actually play a movie once selected? I have tried hitting enter or play on the remote (HD200) and neither does anything. If I go into the Info view, I have the same issue. I can highlight the other options (Details, Cast, etc.) but can't actually change to any of them.

Here's hoping I am just missing something very obvious.

FYI - Great plugin. Speeds are awesom on the HD200. Thanks.

Play or enter should play the movie....It not send me the mymovies log per the wiki please.

Also info doesn't work per the release notes so it won't do anything in there right now.

thanks glad you like it

You need to force a library scan after initial install and then wait it can take a while to download all the posters and fanart I will get this added to the wiki.

Hi Plucky, Great Job!!!

I'm seeing this issue as well (on an HD-100). Would you like to see my logs as well? I don't want to overwhelm you - if you think JustinWI's logs will suffice.

Thanks!

If yours is the same problem as him I am guessing your import paths don't match (ie you are using network in sagetv and local or something different in importing mymovies.)

If that is not the case then yes please send me the log

to late for the overwhelming I knew people where waiting for this but had no idea how many

I fixed my issue and it was due to the import paths. MyMovies was monitoring \\server\Videos and Sage was looking at \\localhost\Videos. In my situation, it was best to change my Sage import paths and re-scan the media in Sage, then rebuild the SMM data file (from Database options). If you update the location of the discs in collection manager, you will end up with duplicates of every movie unless you also change the monitoring path.

[jptheripper]

Dont forget, not only must paths be the same, but case sensitive. Open your collection management software and look at the path to the folder. under disks.

If it is \\server\VIDEOS\Movies\movie_name

and your import directory is \\SERVER\Videos\movies FAIL!
must be exact

[PLUCKYHD]

You can actually just delete the mymovies database in the collection manager and reimport under the new path but glad you got it working

Ripper can you bug the case sensitivity for me I meant to change that so it wasn't case sensitive but forgot.

Thanks.

In your collection management software, tools options, under the media center interface, down at the bottom. Movie backdrops. Choose 720p or 1080p. I think you need to set this to get MM to download the posters. Then SMM will grab them.

No posters are unrelated to backdrops it just needs a library refresh the first time I have added this to the wiki.

This is going to be AWESOME. Playing with it now... Fantastic work!

Couple of questions:

1)

For the life of me, I can't find this option anywhere. I've looked through all of the SageTV options, I've looked through the plethora of options while in SageMyMovies views, and I've tried the main menu options. Can't find it! Please point me in the right direction.

2) There seem to be a number of items that are blank in various views. Not only that, but you can't even navigate to them. They're just gaps. I'm assuming this is content that MM doesn't have any info on...but...should SMM at least allow you to hover over the movie and catch a file name so you can at least view it?

3) I have my video folders very, very well organized with multiple layers. Because I'm required to select the same folder (M:\Videos) as in SageTV. Within that, I have Podcasts, Movies, Music, and various other miscellaneous items. Some of them don't really fit well into the mix...really, I'd only like to have some folders show up here. Is there a way to work this out?

Thanks again for a great product...so many features, I'm struggling to get my head around it.

Cheers,
AL

1.) Go into a view Pull up options -> Custom-> Fade Posters In
Set this to off/Grey bullet. If you need a reference, in wall view, it is the 7th one down in the options -> Custom screen.

This setting is not global so you will need to set it for each view that is relevant, mostly the ones that utilize a poster/cover to navigate the movies, ie wall, coverflow, etc. Changing this setting for extenders really does makes a huge difference in speed.

2.) I think I know what you are talking about. When you are in list view, it looks like there is a blank row? That happens when the plugin is not done doing it's magic. The plugin is not instantaneous so the first MyMovies library scan does take a while and the subsequent database with the Plugin also has to be updated to match. I saw this a lot in testing when i would add a bunch of movies and try to go watch them right away. The easy fix is to come back later and all will be well, or you can force a library rescan and that will start the import process. Best to just wait.

3.) If I'm following, it sounds like you are specifying the root directory for your mymovies import directory. You should be able to specify each subfolder that you want instead and that should achieve what you want.
